The following study was aimed at exploring the social representation of drug trafficking in two Mexican cities that have characterized by the presence of this criminal activity: Culiacan, Sinaloa and Apatzingan, Michoacan. The Cuestionario de Objetivacion y Valoración del Narcotrafico was administered to 240 subjects to determine the content and structure of the social representation. The results showed that the social representation of drug trafficking is organized through two categories: cultural manifestations and social damage of drug trafficking. Regardless of the similarities in content, the structure of the representation is different in each context.
